An understanding of leadership and management theory and practice is integral to the success of a new generation of health and social care professionals, and managers of services. It is equally important for educators in the field. Leading and Managing in Contemporary Health and Social Care by Elizabeth Rosser and Cate Wood supports the development of all health and social care professionals as managers and leaders in today’s rapidly evolving environment. This new title addresses pertinent topics including: integration and enhancement of health and social care services; interprofessional working; the importance of a strong organizational culture; developing individual resilience; leading innovation; and practising successful project and financial management within global and culturally sensitive contexts. With a growing mandate for health and social care professionals to understand leadership and management within their organizations, and a strong appreciation of these skills by employers, this new book is an important contribution that students and educators alike will welcome.
Cuidados de Salud Avanzados es una colección de monografÃas cuyo objetivo es ampliar los conocimientos básicos adquiridos durante el grado, proporcionando contenidos avanzados en cada materia. Su orientación recoge las cuatro funciones que la OMS otorga a las profesiones sanitarias: asistencial, docente, gestora e investigadora. Esta nueva monografÃa, que forma parte de la colección, contribuye a la investigación sobre la prescripción temporal de cuidados de enfermerÃa, aún pendiente de una mayor evidencia cientÃfica sobre la eficacia de los procedimientos que se aplican. Cada uno de los ocho capÃtulos está escrito por profesionales de la docencia o la enfermerÃa clÃnica que, además de con el prestigio en su entorno, cuentan con gran experiencia y utilizan la evidencia en su trabajo, lo que se refleja en la bibliografÃa incluida en cada uno de los capÃtulos. Pretende ser una obra útil para docentes, gestores, investigadores y enfermeros clÃnicos, que realmente son quienes pueden aplicar la prescripción de cuidados. Â
